K1 Speed Mokena 2024 Challenge GP - May 5th

All three sessions of the May 2024 Challenge GP race at Mokena IL. Starting grid determined by two rounds of qualifying, with the same drivers per qualifying heat randomly assigned karts. The quicker of your two fastest qualifying laps determines your place on the grid for the final race. Both qualifying sessions were 12 laps, and the final race was 16 laps this month.
Really poor showing in qualifying this month - barely getting into the 21s in both sessions is way off the pace. That being said, I got a quick kart for the final race, and made up for qualifying in dramatic fashion!

Good race Alex

Hey, do you feel it’s worth it at this track? My friend has a group outing with 30 people and we’re paying about $15 more than the standard admission for 2 races, no other amenities. The track seems pretty bland and for a 10+ person race do you feel it’s worth the money to go? Or maybe just go with the standard price?

Sorry, you're asking about the K1 Speed in Mokena - my bad.
If you (or a majority of your party) have never raced IRL before, then I'd say go for it. Signing up as a group guarantees everyone races together in three heats of 10, but why that costs extra is beyond me.
All three K1 locations in the burbs are pretty similar - same kart type, battery powered, narrow and cramped track layout, variance between karts.
